The Santa Fe Opera and Opera for All Voices presents “This Little Light of Mine” at the Lensic. This show dramatizes the story of Fannie Lou Hamer, a former sharecropper who rose to national prominence at the 1964 Democratic National Convention.

Twelve New Mexico vocalists, under the direction of Dr. Stevie Springer, will be on stage participating in the world premiere of this momentous performance, including Dr. Finnie Coleman, Gene Corbin, Lowell Burton, and Toni Morgan.

The Lensic Performing Arts Center is collaborating with the New Mexico Black Leadership Council to get Albuquerque folks to “This Little Light of Mine”. We have free tickets and transportation from Albuquerque to the Lensic for the show on Saturday, October 29, 2022. Read on for more details.

University of New Mexico’s African American Student Services Unveils “Black History at UNM”
With the touch of a screen, visitors can explore a timeline of Black history, activism, and life at UNM.

UNM’s African American Student Services (AASS) collaborated with the UNM Communications and Marketing Department Web team to bring a new project to life.

The UNM Newsroom posted the story on their front page. Brandi Stone, director of AASS, was looking for new ways to build Black students’ knowledge of their history at the university. She was inspired by visits to museums in Alabama. After seeing touchscreen timelines in those museums, she thought that would be a great thing to have at UNM. She, senior student success specialist J Gourdin, who’s also an NMBLC board member, and others teamed up with UNM’s web team to make it all happen. The web team said they had never worked on a touchscreen timeline like this, and were up for the challenge.

J Gourdin pointed out that the first milestone on the touchscreen is the founding of UNM in 1881. After that, the first Black history event is 40 years later. In 1921, UNM began accepting admission from all qualified students, regardless of race.

“Having our history easily accessible on our wall allows Black students to understand the legacy of excellence on this campus and the shoulders they are standing on.”
— Brandi Stone, director of African American Student Services at UNM. Source: UNM Newsroom.

The Black history touchscreen timeline is an ongoing project. Student leaders continue to collect and update the information. The Black History at UNM touchscreen is located in the main area of the AASS offices in Mesa Vista Hall. Students, alumni, and the community are encouraged to visit.

Register to Vote: The NMBLC 2022 New Mexico Voter Registration Guide
Prepare to cast your vote in the 2022 New Mexico general election with the NMBLC voter registration guide.

The New Mexico general election is coming up November 8, 2022. If you haven’t yet handled your voter registration, now’s the time.

In the November 2022 election, New Mexicans will elect the next governor of the state.

A debate between gubernatorial candidates Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and weather anchor Mark Ronchetti aired on KOB. You can watch it here. A second debate will air October 12 on KOAT and KKOB.

The race for the next attorney general and Bernalillo County sheriff is on the ballot as well. All 70 state House seats are up for election this year.

The New Mexico Black Voters Collaborative has spearheaded a coalition of organizations dedicated to getting youth and people of color to the polls for this election. With the rise of hate crimes, misinformation about elections, and the recent impact to reproductive health access, voting remains as important as ever.

Below, you’ll find information on registering to vote, requesting an absentee ballot, getting your sample ballot, and election deadlines.

UpLift NM Open House Celebration
NMBLC’s August open house launched the UpLift NM Initiative and brought organizations and the community together in Albuquerque’s International District.

The New Mexico Black Leadership Council (NMBLC) hosted an open house to announce the launch of the UpLift Initiative. The UpLift NM program serves New Mexico’s Black/African American communities and all residents of the International District in Albuquerque, New Mexico. NMBLC and partners have been collaborating on this project for over a year. At the open house, we finally got to share UpLift with the community.

The UpLift Open House was on August 16th, 2022 at the NMBLC office on 1258 Ortiz Dr SE in Albuquerque. Many local organizations set up information booths to share the services they offer. The rooms and hallways bustled with community members getting to know one another.

Emergency Rental Assistance and Housing Stability

The UpLift Room was a hub of reps and resources. NMBLC’s in-house legal counsel Chris Elam shared the resources available for those facing eviction and loss of housing. The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) can help eligible applicants financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic pay rent and utilities.

Also in the room were the NM Center on Law and Poverty as well as the Chisholm Table cohorts with the New Mexico Black Lawyers Association, Nu Rho chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, UNM African American Student Services, Albuquerque Black Economic Security and Solidarity (BLESS), and Beyond the Chair Initiative.

COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence

The New Mexico Department of Health gave away free at-home COVID-19 tests and had the 411 on COVID-19, Monkeypox, and vaccinations. Dr. Duane Ross answered questions one-on-one about the vaccine and health in the Black/African American community. Bianca Cowboy of D.O.P.E. Services (Dedicated Outreach and Prevention Education) helmed a table of tools for preventing ailments such as sexually transmitted infections and drug overdoses.

One of the rooms screened the Digital Stories collaboration. Story creators Tracy Dingmann and Alfondso Thompson shared their frightening experiences with COVID-19 in the days before the vaccine.
